DJ Kash - Raleigh NC

  • DJ

With over a decade of experience, DJ Kash has been utilizing his passion for music & creativity to help clients celebrate their special moments with their loved ones while making a positive impact on their lives. Whether you're planning a South Asian Wedding or any other style of wedding or event, DJ Kash will work with you to create the perfect playlist that matches your unique style and taste. DJ Kash can create sets that cut across cultures and generations. Get ready to dance the night away! For more info, visit www . djkashNC . com

I was so thrilled to have found DJ Kash to help make our Sangeet a memorable experience for everyone! I found him through instagram, as one of the premier South Asian DJ's in the triangle area, and after listening to his sets, I knew he would be the perfect fit for our event. We reached out, and within a few weeks, we had a signed contract, he had added at my request, a Dholi and I felt that he would deliver even though we'd booked him over a year in advance. Kashif is professional, fun, and can read a crowd and vibe incredibly well. He blended western music with Bollywood hits and for our Sangeet he played a live, mixed set which was DOPE. Everyone loved the music and would not get off the dance floor. Additionally, he was incredibly flexible- I had literally no direction for him (mostly because I trusted him) and he was able to accommodate last minute requests without complaints. And thank you Kashif, for encouraging me to keep the Dholi, because between the two of you, the event was more memorable than I could have imagined. Kashif made the space beautiful with his uplighting, which was a welcome addition to his standard cost, and set up and tore down with no issue in a very busy downtown Raleigh venue. I would 100% use him again if I ever needed to. The music was phenomenal, bangers all night- and the talent was immense and clear. Thank you so much for making my wedding weekend so memorable!

So nice to meet you! My name is Carina, and I'm your new wedding planning bestie! I started Raleigh Weddings after self-planning my own wedding. As much as I loved the process, I was also up until 3 AM the night before my wedding finalizing designs on my decor and straightening our ceremony chairs. My wedding day ended up being AMAZING (on 4 hours of sleep, no less!), but if I had known then what I do now, I would have had a planner. That's why I got certified in wedding planning and started my business in 2022: I want to help you soak in the joyful parts this process while I take on the heavy stuff for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I honestly don't even know where to begin. Carina is hands-down one of the most thoughtful, kind, hard-working, enjoyable, and creative people I have ever met. She handled every single thing with poise and grace. Every wedding plan changes, or has hiccups but frankly I never had to feel those because Carina just handled it with such calm and supportive energy that I didn't even have time to worry about anything at all. I think one of the most unique things about Carina is how she puts her EVERYTHING into making your vision come true. She sat down and HAND-WROTE every single name card (200!!!) because I liked an idea she had. She showed up to my rehearsal dinner with a bouquet for me that she stopped and made herself just so I could have something for that night. Day of was no different, honestly it was almost sad because I knew I wouldn't get to have my fun meetings with her anymore (luckily we are now good friends so I get to do that either way!!) I recommend Carina for your wedding if you want someone to create a vision, to be kind and thoughtful, to listen and show up to every appointment and to put her entire heart into making sure your vision comes to fruition.

After an introductory video call with them, we decided we would love to work with one another! We ended up working with Michael, who shot our engagement/family photos, and our wedding! This experience was beyond my and my families expectations! It felt like Michael was one of our long standing friends form the moment we met. The other photographers he brought along to help were also an absolute joy, one even took over as DJ when ours had to leave! We had people coming up to us all night asking where we found them and even asked for their information afterwards. Michael was very kind as we had some photographers in the family who asked him questions all night and even let them take a few pictures. I highly recommends this company and the people who work in it! God truly answered my prayer and heard me when I asked for someone who would be able to capture the love and family bounds during our wedding! We love our photos can’t wait to get them printed!

For years I have been obsessed with taking photos of everyone and everything. This is because I truly believe photographs can tell a story. As well as create unique memories that last forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
Luisa took our wedding photos on March 3rd 2023. Leading up to the day of the wedding she was incredibly helpful by informing us of her typical process and helping us pick a venue to do our couples portraits. She was punctual and helped us stay on schedule by seamlessly leading us around the grounds of the North Carolina Museum of Art. Her skills as a photographer were on full display and we couldn’t have been happier with the quality of the photography when we got our photos back. She also met us later that day to help photograph our reception dinner and in challenging light conditions captured priceless photos of us with our friends and family. All of this was provided at a great monetary value and her pricing was flexible to help us choose the best package for our budget needs. We couldn’t have been more satisfied with Luisa as our wedding photographer and recommend her highly to anyone seeking professional photos for a special occasion.

We when aren't photographing, we are usually spending time with our Holland Lop, Beau!

Laurel and Jakub are hands down the best people to work with, from the beginning to the end, and every part in between. During our engagement session Laurel and Jakub hopped on our gator and rode around the farm with us and even crawled under our electric fence to enter our horse pasture, while getting all friendly with one of the horses! During the bridal session they both made me feel like I was literally the only one that mattered. I felt like the prettiest person and Laurel was the ultimate hype person. The day of the wedding was nothing but love and laughter. Laurel and Jakub helped the day flow smoothly and both of them had the biggest smiles on their faces. I absolutely adore this couple and would recommend them a thousand times over!!!

The restored Historic Melrose Knitting Mill is a three-story brick mill, nestled in downtown Raleigh. The venue boasts exposed bricks, rough cut beams and twenty-four arched windows, providing an abundance of natural light. After opening one of Downtown Raleigh’s most vibrant restaurants on the ground level, creative director Samad Hachby renovated the third-story space to accommodate the larger weddings, special events, and parties that his restaurant was being sought after to host. Today, the Historic Melrose Knitting Mill sits perched high atop 309 N. Dawson Street welcoming guests to a true destination within the heart of the city.

The Melrose was an amazing choice for a wedding reception venue. First off, Southern Oak was fabulous since they are involved with the Melrose. Second, I heard the waitstaff was amazing all evening, and the food superb. I was incredibly amazed with how well the steaks were cooked despite them being the most requested meal. I also loved how the venue shown and glittered. I am truly in awe of how beautiful the space was. Southern Oak Events was also incredible on top of it! Loved having Nicole there for me through the process. This did not disappoint!

Maggie blew me away! I'm in no way someone who can envision flavor pairings or even designs for a cake. I knew I wanted something classic, yet different for my wedding cake. I also wanted to surprise my husband with a groom's cake that would blow him away. Maggie delivered! She helped me narrow in my ideas to the heart of what I was looking for and she brought my ideas to LIFE. Oh, and they tasted delicious! She brought so much flavor to both cakes, they were moist, & the perfect size. She helped me figure out what size of cakes I needed to feed all my guests!

She went above and beyond her stated duties and we felt so fortunate. She held our hands when we needed it, but also gave us the flexibility and room to make our own creative decisions. That being said- her design instincts are broad for any theme, and absolutely gorgeous. Her team is fabulous too- very professional, detail oriented.

It is the biggest honor to photograph your wedding. Your wedding is a day you hope to remember for the rest of your life and I don’t take my role as a wedding photographer lightly. Whether you’re a newly engaged couple looking for a photographer for your wedding or just an engagement session I have something for you! The best moments on your wedding day are the unexpected, intimate moments.

I will post and gush about Katey as a photographer for forever. She has been a WONDERFUL woman to work with. When I first posted looking for a photographer - instead of pitching me on the phone, we met on a video call - talked about me, my wedding vision, and I never felt any pressure from her. ( I knew on the call I wanted her but what is life without a little suspense) Since then she has been a dream. She is SO communicative, she has been flexible, and it was so comfortable to be photographed by her. Besides having the actual BEST experience - both in how she worked to make it comfortable for everyone (me and my husband) and then (me and all of our families on the day of). she is also a KILLER photographer - I will always always always refer back to her incredible skill with how she photographed my day. She truly has her own vision for capturing all of (and ofcourse the best) moments in a wedding. I cannot say enough nice things about Katey. ** funnily enough my sister in law got married about two weeks before me and ended up liking Katey's pictures in our wedding better than her own. So if you read nothing but my last sentence - you will truly love working with Katey - your pictures will turn out incredible and it will be such a great and natural experience.

My husband and I got married in March of 2023, and we used Magnolia Collective’s full-service package for our wedding at The Maxwell in Raleigh. From the very beginning, Megan and Lauren impressed us with their quick responses to our questions and their exceptional organizational skills, both in the lead-up to our wedding and on the big day itself. The initial call with Megan's team allowed us to determine if we were a good fit for each other. Megan walked us through the company, the process, and the available packages in detail. We were seeking a planner who would be totally hands-on so we could be hands-off, and Magnolia Collective was perfect for that role. Megan and Lauren were always quick to respond to our calls and emails, helping us build an incredible team of vendors for our wedding. The vendors they recommended were top-notch and aligned perfectly with our vision. Megan even attended our rental appointment and picked out everything we needed based on our likes and dislikes from our style boards. This level of personalized service was exceptional and ensured that every detail matched our vision perfectly. Best of all, Megan’s team organized and coordinated our wedding so seamlessly that any minor issues went completely unnoticed. We trusted Megan’s team with every aspect of our wedding, providing them with our preferences, and they brought our vision to life beautifully. Their list of trusted vendors and strong reputation with them made the entire process stress-free. A special shout-out to Lauren, who was fabulous! She assisted with the set-up on the day of the wedding and checked in on me regularly to ensure everything was going smoothly. She was always pleasant to email and speak with, adding a personal touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with Magnolia Collective.

Hi! I'm Elise and I have been a professional photographer since 2020 and have found a love and passion for capturing weddings! I've been married to my guy since 2010 and have 4 kids. My favorite part of a wedding day is the first look and dancing at the reception! I love sushi, hiking with my family, and my plant babies

My husband and I are so grateful that we were able to work with Elise as our wedding day photographer. Her work with us started long before our wedding day, as she was incredibly proactive and chatted with us a few times before our wedding. This made the experience so smooth as we were all on the same page! Not only is Elise a wonderful communicator, but she put us at ease. We were so comfortable with us -- and we are both not people that love posing for photos. She is talented and everyone we shared our photos with was so impressed.

She effortlessly brings ambiance of every event she attends, creating a magical atmosphere with her music. Whether your dream wedding is an intimate gathering or a grand affair, Sarah will help bring your vision to life.

I am writing this review about Sarah. First of all, she was so great at being responsive which right off the bat was a big deal for me. Planning a wedding is stressful but during our first initial meet through Zoom I was immediately put at ease. Second, booking her was extremely easy and fairly priced. Thirdly, she was on time and I balled my eyes out walking down the aisle to beauty and the beast. I've never heard the harp in person and it was an experience I will never forget. She made my event elegant and elevated in all the right ways. If I ever have an excuse to bring Sarah back to another event, I WILL and will recommend her to anyone looking for calm, beautiful music for any event. Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

CWDJ - Luxury Wedding DJ 

5.0

Raleigh, NC
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,895

After being in the music industry as a recording artist, working for many of the biggest DJ companies in Raleigh and being a morning show radio host in Raleigh for six years, I decided to create my own award winning wedding entertainment company where you can get personalized luxury DJ services. We now have over 85 amazing five star reviews on google from past brides and we’re fully insured.

Frankie was phenomenal!! The ceremony music, dance songs, and other important songs were exactly as we imagined! And everything flowed so smoothly from one dance to the next. The cocktail and dinner music was perfect and the dance floor was packed and overflowing all night, from the moment it opened to the very last song!! Frankie even brought the party right back when we had not one but two pauses in the dancing because the groom had lost his ring and there was a false alarm that it was found (he had taken it off to wash his hands). We heard all of our must plays that we knew would be big hits with our guests and also had some importance to us. Frankie knew exactly what to play for all the other songs and followed the crowds energy perfectly. I might be a little biased, but it was the most fun dance floor of any wedding I’ve ever been to. I could not recommend him more!!

  • Classic style

Hello my name is Mirabela, I am a wife, a mom and a woman on the go. Standing still is not in my nature! Many might wonder how did you come up with that name? Well my first born, was my inspiration, my drive. Sofia for the longest time couldn't pronounce the letter S and she would call herself Fofia. She has thought me to be a better person and made me a new me. The Sailboat on my logo represents my son Hunter known as Captain Hunter. There is many ways to look at things, and what of a better way other than capturing those angles with my camera. I don't just capture pictures, I capture a story, Your Story!

I've worked Hands-On with Maria. She was extremely professional and Goofy and funny she made the experience extremely fun. If I had the chance to work with her again I 100% would. She's an extremely creative photographer and makes her clients feel so welcome and comfortable. Have him a chance to work with her has been an amazing experience and has really grown my own work. I cannot be more thrilled with the experience I gained working with her.

  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,500

Hello! Mekai here. Welcome to Sparks + Sand Floral Design! •••To start off I’d just like to say thank you. Even if you’re just checking the page out. Thank you! •• I’m here to enhance your events with florals that reflect you best! I was born and raised in Palm Springs, California and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina a little over a year ago now. I am a one-woman team when it comes to my business, but I'm also a fiance and step-mom to two rad kids and I am the happiest I've ever been. I would love nothing more than to connect with you and help you reach your flower dreams!!

This review is long overdue for my October 2021 wedding! We hired Sparks and Sand and I could not have been happier with how the florals turned out for my wedding. The process of planning was so stressful and we had to postpone from our original 2020 date. However, Mekai was a DREAM to work with. She was so helpful and responsive to all of my questions and quote changes. We had some last minute changes to the quote but she handled everything with ease. The florals were GORGEOUS and I could not have been happier. I literally teared up when they arrived to our Airbnb. They were everything I could have ever asked for. She understood fully what I was going for with just a few inspiration pictures. Everything was so easy and the florals were arranged beautifully at the venue. I'm so happy that I booked Mekai!

I'm a wife, cat + dog mom, Charlotte NC native, and all around hype woman. I love capturing experiences. Above all else I love watching my couples interact with each other expressing and showcasing their relationship. What truly makes me passionate is to be able to capture their love story with artistic beauty and elegance. I love to provide them with gorgeous candid images so that every time they revisit these memories it inspires the contentment and enduring emotion they hold in their hearts from that day.

Cirque91 was amazing to work with! She paid attention to what we wanted while also giving professional advice/suggestions to maximize our experience. We received over 800 shots and every single one is better than the next! She was very organized and made it a wonderful experience. Very personable, easy to work with, and communication (which was important for me in a photographer) was amazing. Thank you Brennan!!

Christine's Plates 

5.0

Raleigh, NC
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $2,500

Welcome to Christine's Plates, a heartfelt journey inspired by the warmth of grandmother's kitchen. Our story is rooted in the rich tapestry of generational legacy, where rustic farm-inspired cuisine becomes a tribute to tradition, quality, and community. It all started with a simple apron, a symbol of love, and a spark that ignited our passion for food. Christine's Plates is more than a dining experience; it's a celebration of cherished memories and the enduring spirit of our grandmother's dream.

The evening was a delightful blend of intrigue and indulgence, with the tantalizing mystery unfolding amidst the clinking of crystal and the soft strains of classical music. The culinary delights were provided by none other than Christines Plates, whose garden-harvest seasonal salad and Tuscany chicken with egg noodles and spinach were the talk of the table. The accompanying broccoli and rolls were a testament to the simple pleasures of good food, while the rum cake dessert was a sweet ending to a thrilling evening. Here let my menu tell the tale.
